A journal of discovery and weightloss

Not much going on these days except for the usual grind. Work, sleep, eat and then do it all again the next day. The days get cooler as the autumn settles in and I look forward to snow once again. Being middle-aged and in the throngs of menopause, I welcome the frigid temperatures with open arms and coats. I love being able to throw a scarf and hat on, some boots and with shovel in hand, clear away the fluffy white stuff from our driveway and sidewalk. Great exercise and at night, the sounds of winter are indescribable unless you’ve experienced it for yourself. There’s just nothing else like it in the world.

My weight hasn’t changed much since the last time I journaled but fluctuates a pound or three up or down on any given day. I’m just so happy I haven’t seen the 230’s in months so to me, this is always a good thing. I’m anxiously awaiting the day when I step onto the scale in the morning and have it show me the “teens” (ie 219)… I’m not sure how I’ll react yet, but I’m sure it will be an epic response!

I do have good news though. I’m not sure if I’ve shared yet. In May 2012 I started out with a 51 inch waist and am now down to a 37 1/2 inch waist. This feels so good!

Goodnight world. I have to go to bed once again. 6am comes early. One more day of work then I get two days off… So looking forward to it. The plan is to start Zumba on Tuesday. Woot!
